Answer:

27% and 37%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of students who oppose the year-round school = 68%

Percentage of students who support the year-round school = 32%

Margin of error = ± 5%

We have to set up the absolute valued equation to find the range(least and greatest) percentages of students who could be in favor of year-round school.

Since, the percentage of students who support the year-round school is 32% and the margin of error is 5%, this means, the difference between 32% and the least and greatest possible percentages is 5%. It can be either +5% or -5%

This thing can be expressed as absolute valued equation as:

| x - 32 | = 5

Here x represents the least and greatest percentages.

Expanding the equation, we can write:

x - 32 = -5 or x - 32 = 5

x = -5 + 32 or x = 5 + 32

x = 27% x= 37%

This means the least percentage of students who be in favor is 27% and the greatest percentage of students is 37%.

Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

vekshin1

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

$\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4$

$\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6$

Alternatively, you can use the fact that $\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4)$ to get the same result.

$\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4$

$\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6$

$\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53$

ATTENTION ATTENTION, BURNING QUESTION!!

AnnyKZ [126]

Recall the slope intercept form of an equation is:

y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c = vertical intercept.

y + 2 = 5x + 4

y + 2 = 5x + 4

y = 5x + 4 - 2

y = 5x + 2

So the slope intercept form is y = 5x + 2

Hope this helps.

Which measurements are for a rectangle with an area of 16 square units?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

This would be <em>length = 4</em> and <em>width = 4</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because to find the area of a rectangle its length x width.

So the two numbers that multiply to 16 is 4 and 4.

Find the measure of angle DFC

Jlenok [28]

DFC equals 180 because all triangles add up to 180. And their sides are the same so 180/3=60
